Dollis Hill
(There’s a chance, here!)
:smack:
Not that I can see. I have to play Kilburn or Kingsbury again. Doesn’t matter. Whichever one I don’t do this time has to be done the next time.
So, Kilburn.
You didn’t spot it! The diagonal!
Dagenham Heathway!!!
Now we should have some exciting open play
I thought the 1998 Kensington Open decision was against the diagonal play out of the Dollis Hill loop until there were an odd number of transversals. Has there been a subsequent ruling? And what is it?
So Regent’s Park should be playable, yes? We never closed the cut-back sequence on Bakerloo.
Yes, after the stalemate at the Canberra qualifiers, even traversals are permitted - but only to surface stations.
Leaving Bakerloo open could help with future Sunday operation predicaments, so I’ll go for Surrey Quays
The real shame of it is that he could have called Mornington Crescent right then and there and ended all this before it really got off the ground. But nooooo …
Oh, and, ummm … Well, it’s obvious and I’m sure I’ll regret it, but:
Gloucester Road.
Yes, I could have called it then - but such behaviou just wouldn’t be cricket.
Barons Court
Mudchute. Earns a snigger or two from the schoolboy-humoured among us, but who cares?
Cockfosters
Quiet at the back, please
And we’ve played the Hainult route out, so…
Richmond
Can I go for Northolt, or does that transgress the Middlesex bias?
Northolt is open.
Covent Garden
When I visited London last year, the London Dopers mentioned that the 2002 amendments were still caught up in committee. Did those amendments finally pass?
If so, Tower Gateway.
Yes, they certainly did. The complications of the full and equal status of the DLR are still being ironed out, so I’ll play safe with Poplar.
That may have been an error. I think I can now force Mornington Crescent in four moves, using the Runnymeade Cravat (Simplified).
Hampstead
The Cravat? You amateur? I’ll put you in the long grass (metaphorically, of course - I wouldn’t want to sully the reputation of Lord Grangewitch-Ashbocking) with Wembley Park
Kindly explain how Wembley Park is a remotely legal move. Neither Shoredith, Whitechapel, or Shadwell have been played. We have not agreed upon any locus-point variances. There isn’t a Bank Holiday exception. And if you’re going to bring up the Johannesburg Concordats, I remind you that they were revoked following the unpleasant business with Lord Entwhistle and that fifteen-year-old “niece” of his.
I believe you are in error, sir.
I had not expected you to do so unambitious a move. Luckily, the Terminal moritorium act of 1978 conveniently left out long backhands.
Ealing Broadway
From Hampstead to Ealing Broadway. OK.
Then I will invoke the Alternate Interior Rule, and choose Lancaster Gate.
